Champions League 2018 Final: All You Need To Know by williamdeluxe(m): 6:50am On May 03, 2018
The 2017-18 Champions League comes to a conclusion next month and
Europe's best team will be crowned after 11 months of action in the
continent's top tournament.
Having kicked off its qualifying stage last June, then transitioning to the
final 32 in September, UEFA's flagship club competition has now been
whittled down to the final two.


WHEN AND WHERE IS THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL


The 2018 Champions League final will be played at the NSC Olimpiyskiy
(also known as the Olympic Stadium) in Kiev, Ukraine .
The game is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 26 and is set to
kick off at 19:45 BST (14:45 ET) .
Home of Dynamo Kiev and the Ukraine national team, the Olympic
Stadium previously hosted the final of Euro 2012 between Spain and Italy,
which La Roja won 4-0.
It has a capacity of 70,000 - reduced to 63,000 for football - and is
considered a Category 4 stadium by UEFA.

WHAT TEAMS ARE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL


Real Madrid are chasing their 13th title having defeated Bayern Munich in
the semi-final and they are in familiar territory having won three of the
last four Champions League finals.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are on course for a sixth title after losing to Roma in italy but winning 7-6 on aggregate to progress to the final in Kiev.

While the Olympic Stadium has a capacity of 63,000 for the final, just
40,700 tickets have been made available to fans and the general public.
Each finalist will be allocated 17,000 tickets to distribute among their fans
and a further 6,700 tickets were available via UEFA's ticket portal. The
application window to purchase tickets from UEFA has now closed, having
run from March 16 to March 22.
Applicants were able to apply for a maximum of two tickets per person
and successful applicants should expect to receive their tickets by mid
May.
There are four price categories for tickets being sold to the general
public: Category 1 tickets are the most expensive at €450, Category 2
tickets cost €320, Category 3 tickets are priced at €160 and Category 4
tickets are €70.
Category 1 seats are located centrally, on either side of the pitch, while
Category 2 seats are mainly on the sides of the main and opposite
stands. Category 3 seats are behind the goals and Category 4 seats are
also behind the goals, but in the upper and lower tiers.


As well as the four categories, UEFA also offers an 'accessibility package',
which is designed for wheelchair and easy access. This is priced at €70
and includes a free companion ticket.
A 'youth package' is also available for one adult and one child under the
age of 14. The package includes two Category 2 tickets (which are
normally priced at €320 each) and costs €140.
According to UEFA, the remaining 22,300 tickets will be distributed among
the local organising committee, commercial partners and broadcasters,
as well as UEFA and national associations.

Liverpool fans will be on top of the world right now,
I know that kinda feeling when Chelsea qualified for the final back in 2012, before we went on to lift the Trophy.
Goodluck Liverpool, make us PROUD!
